Taker - Neurosis

Mama is having troubles, It always comes from me Your daddy said that drink is Is not yours for the free They tell you I'm a loser 'Cause I like see 'em breed But truth is in the mirror Is one thing never seen I sing Yeah Long time ago You tried to tell me, son People tried to hold on I said no no, no no No, I don't mind them saying That you should be praying For me, fast taker Right here's where I'm staying Life's a game I play For keeps, fast taker, fast taker, fast taker Take it away Only sixteen For more than not a girl Old enough For a trip around the world Pick you up on Friday When daddy goes to sleep Bring you back on Sunday When he's watching "Merry Granma" on T.V. Oh yeah, he won't see me Now do it right with music Then you learn how to abuse it All night, fast taker Right here's where I'm staying Life's a game I play For peace, fast taker, fast taker, fast taker Take it away Mama is having troubles, It always comes from me Your daddy said that drink is Is not yours for the free They tell you I'm a loser 'Cause I like see 'em breed But truth is in the mirror Is one thing never seen A long time ago You tried to tell me son People tried to hold on I said no no, no no No I don't mind them saying That you should be praying For me, fast taker Right here's where I'm staying Life's a game I play For keeps, fast taker, fast taker, fast taker Take it away

When you're 'high' If you could see what I see In your unfocused empty child-like eyes You'd see my father's blue stare And the horror Of the loss of language of an educated man He recited poems and Shakespeare, Knew the name of every tree in Latin Memory The unjust cruel sentencing of bewilderment And the dying of the brain. When you're 'high' What do you see His last words to me from surgery His last words: "Burning burning" "Burning burning" "Burning burning" I'm in the flame "Burning burning"

Mother deliver me I'm ready to be recieved Hold me mother to your breast Hold me mother through my death Into your arms Into your arms "Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now at the Hour of our Death"

I tell you, if God wants to take me, he will... (He's coming...) I tell you, if God wants to take me, he will (Can't you see he's coming?) I tell you, if God wants to take me, he will (With the touch of his cold hand...) I tell you, if God wants to take me, he will (He's coming for you...) The kidnapper comes from a space within Where thoughts have created the past again. The kidnapper comes from a space within Where thoughts have created the past again.

Blazing eye sees all Nature of firey triumph Patterns unfold Whispers revealing Path of spiral reaps Fetal buried gold Humbled in the womb A centre opens To the unknown Can you feel your fate Can you see you're Biding time hide From your life Drowning in the birth Place of the sun Descending the path Of an ascending god Purify my hells to Climb the heavens Sacrifice the flesh Feeding solar visions Set your mind to soil Set your mind to soil In darkness Bringing light A knowing old A knowing wise Flames to blades On earth, stabbing Scorching sacred lust Fall back to stone Fall back on spear
